Joshua was born at 5:53 a.m. and weighed 9 pounds, 4 ounces (he’ll be measured later).
Our hearts are full of gratitude to the Lord that He allowed for a wonderful delivery in our home: both Mommy and baby are doing great!
Joshua – “God is my salvation”
Christopher – “Christ bearer”
Our prayer is that Joshua will be a firstborn son whose life is a testimony of his salvation as he embraces the truth of God’s Word, courageously proclaims Christ, and humbly ministers to the needs of those around him.
“But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law… to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Joshua 22:5)
Thank you for your prayers, and we covet your continued prayer support as we seek God’s grace to raise Joshua in the nurture and admonition of the Lord…
Rejoicing in His mercy,
Christopher and Anna Marie
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
–Psalms 139:14
That is so wonderful. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I’ve been checking daily for baby news:) What a blessing from the Lord your precious Joshua is. So thankful that he is here, safe and sound, momma is doing well ( and looks beautiful!) and for the first grandson for Terri and Steve. Praise the Lord!
The congratulations, prayers, and best wishes of our whole family go out to you as you celebrate the birth of your beautiful son. What a blessing that Anna Marie was able to deliver her baby safely and joyfully in the comfort of her own home, with the support of her husband and family. We wish you many years of joy and love with baby Joshua.

Congratulations on your first grandson and third grandchild, Steve and Terri, and to Christopher and Anna Marie for becoming parents. The new mother is positively glowing in that last picture.

I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my own Joshua, and have prayed for Anna Marie often when I wake up during the night.
I’m praising the Lord with you for a healthy birth for mom and baby!
May he be a light to the nations!
A very happy birthday to Joshua.
Not checked on the blog for a few weeks so I’m a bit late with this, anyway congratulations. Anna Marie looks blissful!
